    Jason Richardson credits "the basketball gods."

    That's as good a way as any to explain the final 1.1 seconds of regulation in Phoenix's 123-118 double-overtime victory over Memphis on Friday night.

    Richardson scored five of his 38 points in that tiny span and, thanks to a made free throw that Rudy Gay intended to miss, the Suns forced overtime and stole what seemed a certain Memphis victory.

    "I haven't done that in my lifetime," Richardson said. "That was just a crazy turnaround. They thought they had a win. I guess the basketball gods were on our side."

    Steve Nash scored 13 of his 25 points in the overtimes to send Memphis to its third loss in a row.
